Hello my name is Ernie

Hello my name is Ernie, I'm 90. I was born in a different world. Everybody used to speak to each other face to face. And we dressed in smart clothes. And people seemed less angry about everything.

I met my Rose at a dance in 1954. we were very in love. She died 10 years ago. we were very in love for 70 years. That stupid illness. I wish it had taken me instead. But it left me here, alone and scared.

It's been difficult, but I heard about dropKerb and my daughter kept nagging me to audition. And so I did, and now I'm working with other silly-looking old people. And it's fun, and it keeps me busy, and I get to appear on things that I don't understand,...such as social media posts, and pitches, and presentations.

And I've met some really nice people.
